Definitions
- the present invention pertains to syringes, and specific embodiments pertain to syringe assemblies having a reuse prevention mechanism.
- the syringe allows the user to draw a pre-selected amount of medication into the chamber of the barrel and deliver this medication, as through injection, into the patient. Any attempt to withdraw the plunger to use the syringe a second time will cause the locking element to embed itself into the inside surface of the syringe barrel to prevent proximal motion of the plunger rod.
- One embodiment of the invention pertains to a syringe assembly
- a barrel including a cylindrical side wall having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end including a distal wall having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with said chamber; an elongate hollow plunger rod having a proximal end, an open distal end, an interior surface, and a distal lip at the distal end; a stopper at the distal end of the plunger rod, the stopper including a sealing element having a peripheral surface forming a seal with said inside surface of the barrel, and a projection extending proximally from the sealing element and forming a longitudinal recess, at least one distal ramp on the longitudinal recess and at least one proximal recess detent on the longitudinal recess; and a locking element including a proximal portion having a proximal edge and a distal portion having an outwardly facing barb, the locking element positioned
- the stopper longitudinal recess includes a plurality of ramps inclined outwardly in a proximal direction and a plurality of proximal recess detents. Distal sliding movement of the plunger rod and stopper causes the distal portion and barbs of the locking element to move outwardly towards the interior surface of the hollow plunger rod.
- the distal end of the hollow plunger rod includes a plurality of plunger rod ramps complementary to the ramps on the longitudinal recess of the stopper.
- the assembly further comprises first, second and third proximal recess detents, first, second and third ramps on the longitudinal recess of the stopper and first, second and third plunger rod ramps, the plunger rod ramps providing first, second and third longitudinally spaced barb rests.
- the stopper is slidably attached to the distal end of the plunger rod to allow initial relative movement between the plunger rod and the stopper so that the stopper remains stationary when the plunger rod is moved an initiating distance in a proximal direction, causing the barbs on the locking element to move from the first barb rest to the second barb rest.
- further proximal movement of the plunger rod causes the syringe barrel to be filled with a desired amount of fluid.
- Distal movement of the plunger rod after the syringe barrel has been filled results in the stopper remaining in a fixed position so that there is relative movement between the stopper and the plunger rod causing the barbs to advance to the second barb rest and the proximal edge of the locking element to engage the second proximal recess detent while the second ramp on the longitudinal recess of the stopper urges the barbs outwardly to contact the interior surface of the plunger rod. Further distal movement of the plunger rod causes the seal to contact the distal wall of the barrel until the fluid has been expelled from the barrel.
- the plunger rod after expulsion of fluid from the syringe, can be moved an initiating distance in a proximal direction during which there is initial relative movement between the plunger rod and the stopper so that the stopper remains stationary, causing the barbs on the locking element to move from the second barb rest to the third barb rest. After this movement, further proximal movement of the plunger rod causes movement of the seal and the plunger rod in a proximal direction while fluid is drawn into the syringe.
- distal movement of the plunger rod results in the stopper remaining in a fixed position so that there is relative movement between the stopper and the plunger rod, causing the barbs to advance to the third barb rest and the proximal edge of the locking element to engage the third proximal recess detent while the third ramp on the longitudinal recess of the stopper urges the barbs outwardly to contact the interior surface of the plunger rod.
- further distal movement of the plunger rod causes the seal to contact the distal wall of the barrel until the fluid has been expelled from the barrel and the locking element is urged past the distal lip of the plunger rod, causing the barbs to engage the interior wall of the barrel and locking the plunger rod in the barrel.
- the proximal end of the stopper includes a frangible connection that breaks upon application of proximal force to the plunger rod after the plunger rod has been locked in the barrel.
- the proximal end of the stopper includes a boss member including the frangible connection.
- the locking element is made of sheet metal and the stopper is integrally formed of thermoplastic material.
- the locking element comprises a sheet of material consisting of a single leg.
- a syringe assembly comprising a barrel including a cylindrical side wall having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end including a distal wall having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with said chamber; an elongate hollow plunger rod having a proximal end, an open distal end, an interior surface, and a distal lip on said distal end of said plunger rod, the stopper including a sealing element having a peripheral surface forming a seal with said inside surface of the barrel, and a projection extending proximally from the sealing element and forming a longitudinal recess; and means for locking the plunger rod to the barrel to prevent relative movement of the plunger rod with respect to the barrel after the plunger rod has been moved proximally and then distally for at least one cycle.
- Still another embodiment pertains to a syringe assembly
- a barrel including a cylindrical side wall having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end including a distal wall having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with said chamber; an elongate hollow plunger rod having a proximal end, an open distal end, an interior surface, and a distal lip on said distal end of said plunger rod; a stopper at the distal end of the plunger rod, the stopper including a sealing element having a peripheral surface forming a seal with said inside surface of the barrel, and a projection extending proximally from the sealing element and forming a longitudinal recess, first and second distal ramps on the longitudinal recess and first and second detents on the longitudinal recess; and a locking element including a proximal portion having a proximal edge and a distal portion having an outwardly facing point, the locking element positioned in the

- aspects of the present invention are directed to a syringe assembly having a disabling mechanism.
- the disabling mechanism is automatically or passively engaged during use of the syringe assembly.
- the disabling mechanism permits variable dosages from the syringe assembly and enables a selected number of cycles or strokes by the plunger rod before being automatically disabled.
- the disabling mechanism provides two aspirating and two dispensing cycles before being automatically disabled.
- the assembly enables the aspiration and dispensing of a selected volume of a diluent into a vial to reconstitute a drug, pharmaceutical agent, or other substance and then aspirating the reconstituted substance back into the syringe.
- a selected volume of the reconstituted substance can be injected or delivered to a patient where the volume of the substance that is delivered can be the same or different than the volume of the substance aspirated into the syringe barrel.
- the syringe is automatically disabled after the injection or delivery stroke by retracting the plunger rod, which activates the disabling mechanism.
- the disabling mechanism is actuated by the axial movement of the plunger rod with respect to the syringe barrel and to the stopper by moving the plunger rod in the aspirating direction.
- the stopper is coupled to the plunger rod to allow limited axial movement of the stopper with respect to the plunger rod.
- the disabling mechanism moves through a series of stages by reversing the direction of the axial movement of the plunger rod with respect to the stopper to move the mechanism in a step-wise manner to the disabling position.
- the disabling position of the mechanism is attained by the relative movement between the plunger rod and the stopper and is not dependent on the position of the stopper within the syringe barrel or the length of the stroke by the stopper.
- the syringe assembly is able to dispense a desired volume of the drug or other substance, and the disabling mechanism can be actuated after the final dispensing or injection stroke regardless of the position of the stopper in the syringe barrel.
- the stopper By actuating the disabling mechanism, the stopper cannot be retracted to aspirate a substance into the syringe barrel but allows any substance remaining in the syringe barrel to be dispensed.
- distal end of the device is the end closest to a patient and the proximal end of the device is the end away from the patient and closest to a practitioner.
- a syringe assembly 100 having a disabling mechanism includes a syringe barrel 102 and a plunger assembly 104.
- Barrel 102 includes a cylindrical sidewall 106 having an inside surface defining a chamber 109 for retaining fluid, an open proximal end 113 and a distal end 115 including a distal wall 117 having a passageway 105 therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber.
- the distal wall of the barrel includes an elongate tip 103 extending distally therefrom and having a passageway in fluid communication with the passageway in the distal wall.
- barrel 102 also includes a needle cannula 170 having a proximal end 171, a distal end 172 and a lumen 173 therethrough.
- the proximal end of the needle cannula is attached to elongate tip 103 so that the lumen of the needle cannula is in fluid communication with passageway 105 in the barrel.
- Plunger assembly 104 includes an elongate hollow plunger rod 108, a stopper
- Plunger rod 108 includes a proximal end 111, an open distal end 110, a distal lip 119, and an interior surface 116 defining an interior recess 114.
- the proximal end of the plunger rod 111 includes a thumbpress 180 for application of force to the plunger rod by a user.
- Flanges 182 may be provided on the barrel for the user to grasp during application of feree to the thumbpress 180.
- Stopper 128 includes a sealing element 145 having a peripheral surface 143 forming a seal with the inside surface of the barrel.
- a projection extends proximally from the sealing element 145 and forms a longitudinal recess 129, and there is at least one distal ramp 118 on the longitudinal recess. In the embodiment shown, there are two pairs of distal ramps 118, 120 on the longitudinal recess. The first distal ramp 118 extends in a distal direction to the second distal ramp 120.
- the longitudinal recess further includes at least one proximal recess detent on the longitudinal recess. In the embodiment shown, three proximal recess detents 140, 142, 144 are shown on the proximal end of the longitudinal recess. The first recess detent 140 located closest to the proximal end is larger than the second recess detent 142, which is larger than the third recess detent 144.
- the locking element 130 includes a proximal portion having a proximal edge
- the locking element 130 When the syringe is assembled, the locking element 130 is positioned in the longitudinal recess so that the barb contacts the interior surface of the plunger rod and the proximal edge contacts the proximal recess detent.
- the ramps 118, 120 urge the proximal portion and the barbs 133 of the locking element outward so that the barb contacts the interior surface 116 of the hollow plunger rod.
- the locking element comprises a single unit or single leg.
- the locking element may bifurcate into two legs at the proximal edge 131. Further embodiments may also include a single barb or multiple barbs. In yet other embodiments, the length of the locking element may be increased or decreased.
- the distal end of the hollow plunger rod includes a plurality of plunger rod ramps 150, 152, 154.
- First plunger rod ramp 150 has an inner diameter that is larger than the inner diameter of the main body 149 of the plunger rod 108.
- the second ramp 152 has an inner diameter larger than the inner diameter at the first plunger rod ramp
- the third ramp 154 on the distal end of the plunger rod has an inner diameter larger than the second ramp.
- the first, second and third plunger rod ramps 150, 152, 154 provide respectively first, second and third longitudinally spaced barb rests 151, 153, 155.
- the stopper is preferably integrally formed of thermoplastic material such as polyethylene.
- the sealing element and/or the peripheral sealing surface thereon may be made of elastomeric materials such as thermoplastic elastomers, natural rubber, synthetic rubber and combinations thereof.
- the stopper 128 is slidably attached to the distal end of the plunger rod 108 to allow initial relative movement between the plunger rod and the stopper so that the stopper remains stationary when the plunger rod is moved an initiating distance Dl in a proximal direction.
- This relative motion can be provided by a projecting boss 160 slidably mounted in channel 162 of the plunger rod.
- a frangible or breakable connection 164 may also be provided to facilitate separation of the stopper from the plunger rod 108, which will be described further below.
- the stopper 128 and sealing element 145 remain stationary while the plunger rod 108 is moved an initiating distance Dl in a proximal direction.
- the locking element 130 also remains stationary as its proximal edge 131 continues to engage against the first recess detent 140.
- the proximal movement of the plunger rod causes the position of the barb 133 to move from the first barb rest 151 of the first ramp 150 to the second barb rest 153 of the second ramp 152.
- This relative motion can be provided by a projecting boss 160 slidably mounted in channel 162 of the plunger rod.
- proximal movement of the plunger rod causes the syringe barrel to be filled with a desired amount of fluid.
- the stopper 128, sealing element 145, locking element 130 and the plunger rod 108 move together in the proximal direction.
- the barbs of the locking element 133 continue to rest on the second barb rest 153 of the second ramp 152 and the proximal edge 131 continues to engage with the first recess detent.
- the plunger rod 108 After filling the syringe barrel with the desired amount of fluid, when the user applies an initial distal force to the plunger rod 108, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 12, the plunger rod 108 is moved an initiated distance Dl in a distal direction, while the stopper 128 and sealing element 145 remain stationary due to the relative movement between the stopper and the plunger rod within the channel 162. As the plunger rod moves slidably in the proximal direction, the locking element 130 moves in the distal direction with the plunger rod 108, causing the proximal edge 131 to move from the first recess detent 140 to the second recess detent 142.
- the barbs of the locking element 133 remain on the second barb rest 153 of the second ramp 152. Further, as the stopper 128 remains stationary while the locking element 130 moves in the proximal direction, the ramp 118 urges the barb 133 outward to the interior surface 116 of the plunger rod.
- the plunger rod 108 can be moved an initiating distance Dl in a proximal direction, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 14.
- the stopper 128 remains stationary and the plunger rod 108 moves in the proximal direction causing the position of the barb on the locking element 133 to move from the second barb rest 153 of the second ramp 152 to the third barb rest 155 of the third ramp 154.
- proximal movement of the plunger rod 108 causes movement of the stopper 128, sealing element 145 and the plunger rod 108 in unison in a proximal direction while fluid is drawn into the syringe, as illustrated by Fig. 15.
- the proximal edge 131 remains on the second recess detent 142.
- the position of the locking element 130 is urged past the distal lip 119 of the plunger rod 108, thereby causing the barb 133 to engage the interior wall of the barrel and locking the plunger rod 108 in the barrel 102.
- the proximal end of the stopper 128 includes a frangible connection 164 that breaks upon application of proximal force to the plunger rod 108 after the plunger rod has been locked in the barrel 102.
- the proximal end of the stopper 128 includes boss member 160 including the frangible connection 164.
- the locking element 130 is made of sheet metal, and the stopper 128 is integrally formed of thermoplastic material.
- locking element 130 comprises a sheet of material consisting of a single leg. As otherwise mentioned, embodiments of the locking element 130 may also include two or more legs.
- embodiments of the invention provide a syringe assembly which permits a variable dose of diluent, chosen by the user at the time of use, to be drawn into the syringe, dispensing the diluent into a vial containing a substance to be reconstituted, drawing a selected amount of the reconstituted substance back into the syringe and then delivering the contents of the syringe.
- the selected amount of the reconstituted substance may be equal or less than the full volume reconstituted at the discretion of the user.
- the syringe assembly is automatically disabled after the final injection stroke by reversing the direction of the movement of the plunger rod from the dispensing direction to the aspirating direction. After the injection stroke of the syringe plunger the plunger rod is retracted to activate the disabling mechanism to prevent axial movement of the stopper toward the proximal end of the syringe barrel thereby preventing the stopper from being removed and preventing reuse of the syringe.
